2021 Map of Payson

About this map

Payson and Plainville anchor this southern Adams County landscape, characterized by a dense network of county roads and family-named cemeteries. The drainage patterns of Pigeon Cr and Anderson Br influence the local topography as the land transitions toward the Adams Co Pike Co border. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites identified, ranging from the Payson Old Cem and Payson New Cem to smaller family plots like the Nichols Family Cem and Lock Family Cem. The presence of the Krutmeier Airport north of the main settlement and the hamlet of Adams to the northeast illustrates the modern layout of these rural communities. The map provides a precise view of local infrastructure, including Co HWY 10 and several legacy routes like Angle St that link the various agricultural holdings and historical homestead sites across the quadrangle.
